By Peace III from Special European Union Programmes Body
Published on 19 Dec 2006
STOP PRESS -- These events have now been rescheduled: See this article.
The consultation events around the Peace III Operational Programme scheduled for January 2007 have once again had to be rescheduled (see new dates below).
The Operational Programme is the document which will outline priorities and themes for funding and which will detail the structures for administering the programme in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties.
The draft Operational Programme was due to be ready for late November 2006 but there still has been no publication issued for consultation. As a result of this the dates of the consultation events have had to be changed in order to give groups the opportunity and time to process what is being proposed by the Operational Programme.
As soon as a final draft Operational Programme is released, NICVA will issue a briefing paper (please keep a close eye on the NICVA website which will have up to the minute details on any draft Operational Programme or any other developments). Please also take note of the date changes below.
The Special European Union Programmes Body is a cross-border organisation founded by the British Irish Agreement of 1999. It manages the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation (PEACE II), worth over €707 million, and the €182 million INTERREG IIIA Programme. It is also involved in the cross border elements of other Community Initiatives (LEADER +, URBAN II and EQUAL) and are responsible for implementing the Common Chapter.
While the document is not ready right now, the community and voluntary sector will be keen to have a say on it, and in developments coming from it. We have arranged a number of consultation sessions as of SEUPB’s overall consultation process. The results from these consultation sessions will feed into a major conference to be hosted by SEUPB at the end of the twelve week period. The full document, NICVA briefings and other resources will be available on www.nicva.org as soon as they are released by SEUPB.
